“…My point is that the gender norm can become invisible. How could we capture a monster that we cannot see (Weinstock 2020;Wright 2020)? How do we identify the BGN and its continually shifting modes of power when it could be anyone or anywhere?…”

This article presents the binary gender norm (BGN) as an active and lively concept. To show how gender happens and manifests more as an entanglement than as individual cases in particular communities or locations, the study examines this operation in the context of six apparently unrelated case studies produced simultaneously between 2019 and 2021. Addressing the topics of wine production, biosociocultural indicators, reggaeton, masculinities, normality in schools, and water management, these case studies help show how the binary gender norm maintains itself in invisible ways and responds to any methodological practice employed. How does gender persist as an implacable force that produces stigmatized differences among humans, and why does it seem normal? How is it that, despite all the sophisticated theories and research practices, the binary gender norm finds a way to become gender again? The binary gender norm is familiar but illogical; it is also mutable, sympathetic, and playful. Situated in post-humanist thinking, this article presents a theoretical and methodological discussion on how the binary gender norm shapes itself to continue framing lives.

“…Instead of invoking the concept of evil, the defense presents the idea of “the sociopath,” drawing on a long history of “charming and enigmatic” sociopaths in movies (McMurty 306). The concept of the sociopath allows us to attribute monstrosity to those who outwardly appear normal (Weinstock 359) and may undergird some contemporary anxieties inherent in the Othering of defendants. This modern monster is “invisible and potentially ubiquitous” (Weinstock 359).…”

“…38 To terrify the viewer, the hauntological presence of individuals "excessive" to the current paradigm of a desirable society is strategically used with the purpose of inciting fear. 39 As a ghost who does not feature in the frame, the migrant is not visible, but their presence is always on the horizon. Papalias has illustrated how the use of spectropolitics in relation to migrants is part of the nexus between biopolitics and necropolitics and the global power relations that dispossess subjects.…”
